About:
zfind is a command-line utility that enables searching for files using SQL-like WHERE clauses. It uniquely supports searching within archive formats like tar, zip, 7z, and rar without requiring manual extraction. This tool streamlines complex file discovery tasks by combining recursive directory traversal with powerful filtering capabilities.

Key Features:

SQL-WHERE syntax for intuitive filtering
Support for nested archives (tar, zip, 7z, rar)
Recursive directory traversal
Cross-platform compatibility

Use Cases:

Finding specific configuration files across complex project structures
Locating documents within archived backups without extraction
Auditing file contents in compressed archives

Alternatives:

find – Standard Unix tool lacks archive content searching
ripgrep – Excellent for text content but doesn't search inside archives
